Evan's review of Civilization of the West
Civilization of the West (Civilization of the West) by Patricia O'Brien
Ever since i took two European history classes in college, i have been enamoured with European history and history in general. This IS a text book - in answer to the questions of a few inquisitive co-workers - from one of those classes. It's much better reading the second time around as i am reading it because i find it all very fascinating rather than looking for answer's to test questions. I read it nearly every day at lunch (and sometimes at my desk if i have a process grinding away on my PC). I find it endlessly fascinating to see just how different life and politics were before the 20th century. I could probably read about the same historical events hundreds of times over and have them never become old. This is a great book and it's held my attention. That's difficult to say about a text book.
